Richard Nason (? – aft. 1685)

Parents

Richard was the son of Richard and Sarah. His date of birth is not known, and his date of death is incorrectly reported as c. 1675 by Stackpole.

Spouse

Richard married Shuah Colcord (12 Jun, 1662 – aft. 1741) who later married John Douglass (? – bef. 1712) on 16 Sep, 1687.

Children

Sarah (m. Nathaniel Sanborn bef. 1709)

Jonathan (his will, dated 1741 and recorded 1750, provides for his mother)

Notes

Richard Nason is traditionally said to have died in 1675. However, GDMNH notes that a Richard Nason Jr. was fined for absence from meeting in 1685. If this entry refers to the same Richard Nason who married Shuah Colcord, then the 1675 death date must be incorrect. Since Shuah remarried John Douglass on 16 September 1687, Richard must have died before that date.
